The ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ anniversary: still a mind-blowing masterpiece
Only 2 years ago, George Miller blew us away with Mad Max: Fury Road. Let’s take this second anniversary as an opportunity to witness what made the film such an awesome game changer.
from the article (emphasis mine):
Another characteristic that sets Fury Road apart in its genre
is the distinct lack of romance. Furiosa and Max never share a romantic
moment, even when the story could have easily made space for it. Their
connection is gripping in its intensity, as two characters with painful
pasts and bleak prospects come together to try for hope one last time…
and while it fuels some of the best fan creations on the internet, it’s
great that it isn’t canon. Fury Road is a rare instance in which a main female character holds her own without being a love interest.🙂
